Speak not in haste (without understanding), walk
not in haste (without knowing the path). Take slow cautious steps (in the
path of yoga). Let not pride overtake you. Lead a simple life (free
of passions), says Goraksanath.

Goraksha says: Listen, O Avadhuta, this is how you should lead your life in this
world. See with your eyes (the illusions of the world), hear with your
ears but never speak. Just be a dispassionate witness to the happenings
around you. Do not react.

Goraksa says one who remains
steadfast in observing his sadhna keeping his spiritual practice,
food habits and sleeping habits under strict yogic discipline
(renouncing the pleasures of the body and lethargy) neither grows old nor
dies.

Goraksa says- Om Siva Goraksa Yogi is
the mantra, which is the substance of all true joys. One
should repair to a solitary place and chant this mantra so devoutly
that he becomes oblivious of his own body

Goralsa says he who chants the name vocally or non-vocally (japa – ajapa),
meditates, controls the five senses (withdrawing) from their pleasures and
burns his body in dhayna brahmagni (the holy fire of Brahma) finds
Mahadeva.

The mind is dull and fails to
comprehend the secret of the yogamarga (the path of yoga).
It is very capricious and is always engaged in mischief (non spiritual
activities), thus causing a man to drift away from the true path.

The
mind itself is the abode of the good as well as of the evil. One may
either let the good prevail or may allow free play to the evil instincts.
This mind is pure and pious only when it lets the good in it prosper. If
the mind promotes the evil instincts residing in it then it becomes impure
and impious. Yogamarga is the means by which the mind can be
trained to promote and sustain the good instincts.
